Row, Ride, Run Triathlon

Saturday, April 25, 2014 – 8:30 a.m. starting time

Row, Ride & Run is a fundraiser benefiting Saint Mary’s University’s S.O.U.L. organization. S.O.U.L. (Serving Others United in Love) is dedicated to providing service opportunities for SMU students, enabling them to connect with diverse communities around the nation and the world. Participating in this event makes these trips possible, as all the money raised goes into helping students pay for the cost of their trip.

2.5-mile loop around Lake Winona, starting at the west end of the lake

Bike Course

14 miles of paved path beginning at Lake Winona, following highways 61 and 43 to Gilmore Valley Road and ending on the Saint Mary's campus

NEW THIS YEAR! If you are a mountain bike aficionado and were feeling left out of Row, Ride, Run, this is your year! In addition to the traditional 14-mile road bike challenge, Row, Ride, Ride will offer a single-track course, taking those tough enough for the trails, through the Holzinger Lodge Trail System in Winona. If you are a fat-tire rider looking for a distinctive early season ride, this is your race!

Run Course

3.1 miles of trail through the bluffs surrounding the Saint Mary's campus

The race will begin at the Lake Winona Lodge, East Lake Winona, Winona, MN. The Lake Lodge will also be the transition area for canoe/kayak to bike. The bike to run transition area will be located at the Saint Mary's University Gazebo, located 100 yards down the main campus entrance road on the right. Shuttles will be provided to racers for set-up and transportation after the race.

There are a limited number of canoe/kayak rentals provided by Saint Mary's University. Please register early if you are in need of a rental through us. If you register for a canoe/kayak and we run out, your registration fees will be refunded IF your participation is contingent on us providing the canoe/kayak.

Prizes will be given to the fastest male and female individual particpant. The fastest team entry will also be awarded. Gifts from sponsors will be randomly handed out to participants after all racers have finished at the Gazebo located on the Saint Mary's campus.
